There is huge variation in the way our skills change with age.
A friend of mine is involved in assessing elderly and disabled drivers to determine if they are fit to keep their licenses. Of course only people referred by there doctors as possibly unfit get tested.
Some years ago they were doing research on the process and I did the test myself as part of a control batch of "normal" drivers. It was a very interesting experience and completely different to the driving test you pass to get your license!
